Abstract

The paper’s focus is on the operatic elements’ use in experimental theater, and it begins with an analysis of how opera expression means have been used in this context before moving on to investigate the operatic elements’ crucial role in this type of performance. The author investigates pieces like The Wound Disappeared in the Boundless Night and The Green Snake for references to and applications of experimental drama in opera performances, thereby revealing the inextricable bond between opera and experimental drama. While exploring the legacy of operatic conventions in experimental drama, this paper argues that the field would benefit from taking inspiration from even more classical sources if it were to advance at a steady clip.
